We have bases in Korea
And bases all around,
Columbia, Honduras,
Wherever there is ground
In one hundred thirty countries
And in ev’ry case
What are we getting? Another base!
Chorus:
There is nothing like a base
Nothing in this world-
And we have them ev’ry place,
We will soon have them up in space!!
Bases cost us billions
On ev’ry continent
On the land we occupy
Where people don’t consent,
In Turkey and the Philippines,
In Okinawa too
Whatever we do there- we must undo!
Chorus
Seven hundred thirty-seven
Foreign bases plus
We dominate those countries;
They fear and don’t want us
Let the U.S. people know
Our bases we must yield
We only want our bases on the baseball field!
Chorus: end with We must not have them up in space!
